| Abstract | A highly efficient method for segment-directed mutagenesis has been developed. The method relies on the deamination by sodium nitrite of the bases in the separated strands of a small DNA restriction fragment. The mutagen-treated strands produce transition mutations by the following sequence: (i) hybridization with the complementary strand of the wild-type DNA that had been cloned into a phage fl vector, (ii) repair synthesis in vitro, and (iii) transfection of Escherichia coli. Using this method, we have isolated 14 single-point mutants within a 31-base-pair stretch of the fibroin gene (from the T-A-T-A box at the nucleotide position -30 to the cap site at +1). In vitro transcription experiments with the HeLa cell or the silk gland cell extract show that single-base transitions at the T-A-T-A box (T to C at -30, A to G at -29, and T to C at -28) and at the -20 region (G to A at -21, T to C at -20, and A to G at -17) result in decreased promoter activities, whereas those at the cap site and the -10 regions have no effect. The initiation site of transcription is the same for five 'down' (reduced activity) mutants (T to C at -30, T to C at -28, G to A at -21, T to C at -20, and A to G at -17), the cap site mutant (A to G at +1), and the wild-type genes--position +1. However, the A-to-G transition at -29 (the second base of the T-A-T-A box) induces an additional transcription start from position +4. Functions of the T-A-T-A box and the -20 regions are discussed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
